Important Decision.

An important decision was filed in the
Supreme Court this morning by Judge
Simpson. 1t changes the jurisdiction Of
Trial Justices in cases of petit larceny.
Heretofore Trial Justices and the Court Of
General Sessions each claimed to have iuris-
diction to try cases Of petit larceny. The
sentence for the offence in Trial Justices
courts was limited to 80 days in iail ora fine
of 800; whereas, if the prisoner was tried
in the General Sessions for the same offence,
he could be sentenced to the pcnilcniary
for term of years.
The point was raised in the Circuit Court
in the case of the State ra Robert Jnkins,
Judge Aldrich ruling that Trial Justices
have jurisdiction. The defendant appca,,a;
and the Supreme Court decided that 0nv
the Court Of General Sessions has the right
to try Il case Of petit larceny. The credit
of reversing this decision of the Circuit
Court is due to MIR. II. G.. Patton, q rising
young lawyer, Of this city, who was sa1;%-
fled that the defendant was mmwfuly con.
victcd and without pay or reward carried
his case to the Supreme Court.

The tallcst bartender in New York is a
Mexican employed at Shcridan's popular

giant in. the business. The height Of all
the giants, he says, is greatly exaggerated,
no one of them being eight feet high The
number of giants has greatly increased in
.hc past fifteen years, and, though they for
mcrly earned $40 and 800 week, the
competition has reduced their wages to $25
a week. They talk of forming trade
union.

Calhoun's Statue in Position.

AT 10 o'clock Tuesday morning half
dozen workmen began to turn the wind
lass OF the huge derrick on Marion
square, and the colossal bronze statue OF
John @. Calhoun, which was to crown
the work and realize the dream Of thirty
bye years, slowly rose from the ground.
The work was delayed until that hour In
order to allow some of the mombers OF
the committee to be present. Six stout
cables had been passed around the DOT
tom Of the chair and mado fast to the
figure, which was thus nicely balanced.
The head was still well covered with
thick folds of canvass, tightly bound.
Guy ropes leading in different direc-
tions were held each by workman, thus
enabling them to regulate any circular
or lateral motion, and at tho same time
to place the statue in the position it was
to occupy on the pedestal.
1t did not take long to hoist it to tho
top of the pedestal, and there it was
allowed to remain. 1t was more sugges-
tive than ever of the idea of an eXecu-
ton, until the men at tho end of the
guy ropes had been placed in the proper
positions. Then the boom of the der
TICK slowly moved around, swinging the
statue directly over the pedestal where
it was to rest. AT ten minutes past II
the statue Of John G. Calhoun rested on
Its pedestal, thirty.fve years after tho
corner stone of the monument had been
laid.
The figure faces the south, the back
OF the chair being to the north. Stand
ing on the ground one can hardly form
an accurate idea of it's dimensions or
height, but those who who saw tho work
men on the scatfolding near it yesterday
could easily judge of its sizo-tho men
looked like tho most diminutive of
dwarfs.
There remain now only the four his
torlcal figures and the ornaments to the
panels to complete the monument. Mr..
V1ett, the contractor, who did the granite
work, is to be praised as well rs con-
graduated for the successful consumma-
ton OF his contract. It is admitted to
be an admirable piece of work, and it is
somewhat strange that not single stone
was spoiled IN the cutting, The work
has taken considerably more time than
it was expected, but there were unavoid-
able Interruptions and moreover it has
been splcndidly done. When the CAL
houn monument is completed there will
be few handsomcr works of art to
be seen in the United States News and
Courier

Age Cannot Compete with Youth.

An Interesting incident comes from Scott
county, Indiana. Mr.. McDcrmott a wild
over, fell III love with Il beautiful young
girl, and courtcd her with zeal which
only true affection knows. Mr.. McDcr.
mott has the misfortune to have son, but
the son very considerably did not object tc
the fair young lady whom his father was
trying to make his stcp.mOthcr. In fact,
the young man called on the young lady
and made her feel that she would be wei,
come us member Of the family. This all
pleased the father, Of course, and in a burst
of parental affection he told his son that he
and the young lady were engaged. Then
the son went over to congratulate the young
lady. lie did ii ailCctonatcly-so very af.
fectionatcly that he proposed and was &C
ccptcd. An clOpcmcnt followed, and the
fond father has now daughtcr-in-law and
the son has no stcp-mOthcr. Age should
never compete with youth in contests where
Cupid awards the prizes.
